I am looking for a way to validate an IPA or mobileprovision file, to see if all my test devices have been added before i distribute the app for beta-testing.

Get the iPA/build file. Right click and open with Archive Utility.
New directory Payload will be created.
Open the Payload.
Package file should be there with APP Name.
Right click on the File, select the “Show Package Contents”.
Inside this folder, you can file a file named “embedded.mobileprovision”. Open this file using Textedit application.Or Open it using vim editor in terminal.
Copy your UDID and search among the list of UDIDs in the embedded.mobileprovision file.
one command:
zipgrep 00008020-000D15C4343200E2 MyApp.ipa
output:
Payload/MyApp.app/embedded.mobileprovision:Binary file (standard input) matches
TL;DR:
- IPA file is a zip file that contains a file
Payload/MyApp.app/embedded.mobileprovisionit works on MacOS, I didn't test on other OS
